lower compartment latch or slide bolt replacement

Ok, so just bought a 99 pace arrow 35U for $6k. I need to replace 12 of the 20 slide bolts on the lower compartment doors. Sadly, the latches are mounted on the inside of the door frame rather then on...

Mine were very easy to change out.
I removed the cover over the latch
Locate the metal linkage to the latch.
Tied a peice of sturdy twine to linkage.
Removed the screws that hold the ends in place.
Gently pulled the assemble out while helper guided string in.
Reversed the procedure to install.
The plastic retainers for the latch cover broke(of course) used screw to re-install.
